A documentary history of the great Swiss electronic music duo Yello, famed for their '80s hits "The Race" and "Oh Yeah" Forty years ago, armed with tape, scissors and a hefty dose of wit, Zurich band Yello--aka Boris Blank, Dieter Meier and, initially, Carlos Perón--set out to write their very own chapter of music history. In no time at all they found themselves playing the Roxy club in New York. Today, thanks to albums such as Solid Pleasure, You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excessand Flag, and singles like "Oh Yeah" (famously included in the soundtracks to American films Ferris Bueller's Day Offand The Secret of My Success), Yello are enshrined among the pantheon of electropop pioneers. For Oh Yeah--Yello 40, the two original members dug deep into their archives to come up with an intriguing haul of Polaroids, posters, letters, fanzine reviews, sketches, pictures of their trip to Cuba and even the handwritten sheet music to "Bostich," their seminal early single.

By means of close textual analysis, Evans explores the impact these regimes had on the individuals concerned and the contr...
